Thu, 15 Mar 2018 02:30:34 GMTWABA is holding a kickoff meeting to establish a campaign to extend the WB&A Trail on Saturday, March 31st. The WB&A trail is a little over 12 miles long. Here's a map for folks not familiar with the trail: https://www.traillink.com/trail-maps/wba-trail/ Folks that have gone on any of the bike rides to Annapolis or Baltimore have had the pleasure of riding on this trail. The actual rail corridor extends into DC and would connect to the Marvin Gaye Trail which almost connects to the Anacostia River Trail.

NEW! Climate Ride – Nova Scotia | This beautiful coast – the most dramatic in Nova Scotia - meets the breathtaking highlands in ways that make you appreciate both to the fullest and the scenic magnificence of the Cabot Trail which can be really savored at the speed of your bicycle. The landscape contains beautiful wooded trails, and magnificent rivers. You will be staying at local inns, supporting their unique island economy and enjoying their individuality and charm. Many find that the highlight is a ride through beech woods to salmon pools, where salmon sometimes leap on their way upstream, and you can swim in deep pools below clear waterfalls.

Unfortunately, this year (as last year), there is no ride scheduled for DC or Northern VA. Would anyone like to lead such a ride? What would it take to get it organized -- do we need any permits from Arlington county? This is definitely a worthy cause -- a ride in a group in city streets, to commemorate bicyclists injured or killed in traffic accidents.

Every Wednesday in March (and one in April) will be the Crystal City Wednesday Night Spins, now called the Crosshairs Garage Races.

Come race or just come watch. Either way, it will be a fun time. Food trucks, beer, and pie!

I will be there every week except the third (Closing Happy Hour for Freezing Saddles) racing. So come say hi! :cool:
